The Mystery and Majesty of the Dead Sea Scrolls
Since their discovery a half-century ago, the Dead Sea Scrolls have captured the popular imagination, and created more controversy and intrigue, than any other ancient find. Written in Jerusalem’s waning days of glory and reflecting the mindset into which Jesus was born, the scrolls are our oldest witness to monotheistic religion. Come hear the fascinating story of how the scrolls were discovered and learn what they really say.
Tuesday evening, Nov. 12 at 7:00.
Light refreshments will be served.
